Richard Lawson can only guest for MPT at home, and Lawson would not be able to cover on two consecutive Fridays.

No, his average is higher than MPT and only fits at home by virtue of the 5% uplift. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c19_issue_33.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinBSN Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Adam Ellis was unbeaten at Newcastle a few weeks ago and is under MPTs average. In saying that, Kerr, Pickering and Barker would also be brilliant guests Edited October 4, 2019 by Marshall07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that anyway, but am sure Dr. Watson will be along to try and clarify it, if need be.

johnyson66 Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 No disrespect to the diamonds but I think a home win by 12 or more gives Newcastle to much to do in the home leg , hopefully we get 16+ lead to make it a bit easier on us in the 2nd leg , only worry is the meeting at Leicester in between the 2 legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the away form that's Newcastles problem but at home they seem to do OK ran Glasgow and Somerset very close , so hopefullya 12 point lead at least gives us a big advantage away , agree 3 meetings back to back isn't ideal but Leicester and Newcastle isn't to much of a trek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northyorksbear Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 What's the story with Lasse Bjerre - is he likely to be riding in the final? Choice of guests will be very important for both teams - I make Redcar the favourites, however it is a lot closer between the teams than many may think - Diamonds have got quite a few who can have good meetings at Redcar - and Ulrich might just come back tobite us big time. However the most important aspect is the fact that we finally have a major final between these two sides - lets make it a great event and show the rest of the Championship the passion we have in the North east, this is great for both promotions - and whilst we all know both clubs have some "supporters" who will view this as an opportunity to "have a go" at the opposition and their fans, I sincerely hope the true speedway supporters in each club will get behind their team, but show respect to the opponents and applaud good riding by all riders, whatever colours they are wearing 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
